~~ (no) apologies for the devil

So basically, I could talk about Brian or I could talk about how I read/perceive stories. The latter, I'm probably way more obsessed with. And so. I could/should just point everyone to melymbrosia's post on personal reading axioms, because they apply to me so completely. Immediately, a quote would be: "The great gift of fiction isn't judgment but empathy." Because, yes. Yes! That sums it all up, man. The exercise of morality is counter to the process of reading/watching fiction (to me). "The novel's strength is its ambivalence," she says. I nod mutely, groaning at my gross inadequacy at self-expression. Yes. It's all about listening to texts, letting them define their own terms as much as possible. Oh godgodgod, YES.

This is my not-at-all deep and meaningful post on QAF, as I have read hautemonde's bit of an anti-Brian (anti-season-2-Brian, anyway) rant and the "sometimes this show sucks ass" that goes along with it, and.

See, I loved QAF. All of it. Absolutely all of it. I watched most of it in a single shot during a very full week, eheheh. And now, the closest thing I could come to as far as a reason QAF doesn't suck ass....

It's the porn, man. (Duh?)

Digging deeper. And it's still the porn. But also, I love Justin, ahahah. And Brian & Justin together. Because they're adorable and have chemistry and Brian snarks and is tender-hearted-in-spite-of-himself and Justin has comebacks and is spunky and brings out Brian's embarrassing side. Also, Justin is idealistic and pretty, and Brian is cynical and pretty. They fuck, and they fuck a lot. Always a bonus. Was there more to this show? I didn't notice :>

( ...Apparently, talking about Brian/Justin & Judging Brian & the Important Things In Life & Fiction gets me to say the word `fuck' a lot. Heh. )
